America is Great!

If you need a reminder of our greatness, visit DC in the Spring.  Wow!  Beautiful green trees, blossoming flowers, flocks of kids on field trips, richness, delicious food, diversity and mostly, history.  Lots of it!

There were so many wonderful parts of our weekend get-a-way.  The best, as always, were the people and the connection we made with two special people – a woman who recently lost her husband and her older brother.  We dined at arms length next to them at Barcelona, a hip, vibrant tapas restaurante.  It was delicious!  It was meant to be because we were the elders in the attractive and fit crowd.  Needless to say, we stuck out like sore thumbs – old and less fit.  We had nice conversations where we shared some life experiences and my desire to sing at a Karaoke bar.  Yes, they were in and we all did it!  They were so accommodating and fun.  It was a night and into the early morning to remember.   I know what you’re thinking.  Yup, I had a nap to prepare for the evening.  The next night, they invited us out to a late dinner, but we couldn’t make it.  Who knew we would make friends in DC?

That’s what makes America great!  Freedom to choose who I want to talk to, what I want to wear, where I want to go, what I want to eat and what I want to do in a beautiful, safe city, our nation’s capital.
